Our Approach

Community Need Physician Supply/Demand Analysis —- We perform a complete assessment of your market to quantify the future need for physicians.

Federal guidelines closely regulate many areas of physician supply analysis and manpower planning requiring health care facilities to justify physician recruitment based on community need.

Demonstrating community need is an important question to answer to the Federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), and Federal Stark regulations for all hospitals desiring to use revenues for recruiting purposes.

The IRS recommends that not-for-profit hospitals may offer physicians recruiting incentives and must be offset by a demonstrated community benefit. DHHS suggests that only new physicians or new physician services are eligible to receive recruiting incentives. Stark Federal Regulations point to “demonstrated community need” as further evidence of compliance.

The Champion Group’s Community Need Physician Supply/Demand Analysis documents your defined service area’s current and projected demand/need by specialty: Primary Care, Medical Specialties, Surgical Specialties and Hospital-Based Specialties.

Our quantitative and qualitative analysis methodology framework reflects the “real world” conditions recognizing both the statistical demand as well as multiple qualitative factors affecting market conditions. We provide the 100% Market share staffing needs, the current market share ajdusted staffing needs and the growth potential adjusted staffing needs.

Our plans are the most comprehensive, legally sound and practical in the industry. This proactive physician-involved approach provides a critical cornerstone for success.
